IOA Functions

At each intervention point, Control-M/Tape can execute a set of actions that are common to other INCONTROL products. Through these actions (meaning, DO actions specified in Control-M/Tape rules), Control-M/Tape can communicate with other INCONTROL products, trigger events, schedule jobs, and so on.
